Hi there, I'm so excited. I just received my new oven and can't wait to get started using it. Since I am in the process of unpacking at my new home I won't be able to start cooking until this weekend. I'm itching to get started cooking and finding recipes to use.

I add about 2 inches / 50 mm of lukewarm water (after the oven has cooled as cooling the glass too quickly can cause it to break) and a very small squeeze of washing up liquid and leave for 15 minutes on the wash setting.

The water will slosh around and warm up a bit too. It loosens any dirt and makes it easy to clean.

You can also line the bottom of the bowl with foil when doing messier cooking and that makes the clean-up even easier.
